who alone stretches out the heavens, and treads upon the waves of the sea,

If thou set thy heart aright, and stretch out thy hands toward him,

Because he has stretched out his hand against God, and behaves himself proudly against the Almighty.

He stretches out the north over empty space, and hangs the earth upon nothing.

However does not a man stretch out the hand in his fall? Or in his calamity therefore cry for help?

Who determined the measures of it, if thou know? Or who stretched the line upon it?
